From a quick survey:
psql won't override a dbname or username set explicitly with an option
argument.
pg_dump doesn't have an option argument to set the dbname.
pg_restore doesn't have an option argument to set the input file name.
vacuumdb, clusterdb, reindexdb, createlang and droplang all need
remediation. createuser and dropuser look ok.
pg_ctl seems a mess :-( I'll need to look at it closer.
